Traveling Through Multiple Realms: The Supporting Character's Counterattack

The instant Genma unleashed the fireball, he used the Body Flicker Technique to leave his original spot.

He was perfectly clear-headed; in a melee of this magnitude, a fixed position was tantamount to being a sitting duck.

His figure moved through the chaotic battlefield, his sharp gaze sweeping across the entire scene.

Minato and Hanzo's figures clashed at high speed near the box. Each collision between the golden flash and the ghostly body-flicker produced a piercing metallic clang, making it impossible for ordinary ninjas to intervene.

Senior Shikaku managed to bind Chiyo with his shadow, but it was clearly extremely difficult, as Chiyo's chakra was violently impacting the shadow's restraint.

Senior Choza temporarily blocked the attacking Sand Village puppets and Rain Village ninjas with his Multi-Size Technique, but he was outnumbered and the situation was precarious.

Meanwhile, Senior Inoichi stood aside, his face pale as he dealt with a mental attack from a Rain Village Jonin and a poison needle attack from another Sand Village puppeteer, facing a perilous situation.

We must break the deadlock, prioritize ensuring the poison isn't taken away, and support our teammates.

Genma's eyes sharpened, and his hands became afterimages.

Dozens of shuriken and senbon seemed to come alive, tracing all sorts of tricky and unpredictable arcs, bypassing the chaotic battle, and accurately shooting at the Sand Village and Amegakure ninjas who were trying to get close to Inoichi and Choza, as well as the joints of several more threatening puppets.

"Pfft! Pfft!"

Screams and the sound of puppet parts shattering rang out one after another, immediately relieving the pressure on Haiyi and Dingza.

"Genma, thank you!"

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Haiyi broke free from his opponent and hurriedly retreated to join Dingzuo.

However, at the very moment Xuanjian made his move, a sharp killing intent locked onto him like an ice spike.

It's Chiyo!

Although she was bound by Shikaku's shadow, her combat experience was so rich that she immediately spotted Genma, the "fly" who was constantly causing trouble from afar.

With a determined effort, she spared no expense in consuming a large amount of chakra to forcibly break free from some of the shadow's restraints. A strangely shaped puppet of the Chikamatsu Ten Puppet Masters, wielding a long sword, shot straight toward Genma like an arrow, accompanied by a sharp whistling sound.

The speed was astonishing, and the blade gleamed with a ghostly blue light, clearly indicating that it was coated with a potent poison.

"Genma, watch out!"

Nara Shikaku suffered a backlash from Chiyo's forceful break free. He groaned, and his Shadow Binding Technique nearly collapsed. He shouted a warning.

The puppet "sword" whistled through the air, its poisoned blade instantly reaching Genma's face.

A ruthless glint flashed in Granny Chiyo's eyes. She was willing to expend chakra to forcibly break free of some of the restraints in order to eliminate this Konoha boy who was constantly harassing her from afar and posing a great threat.

However, faced with this sudden and deadly attack, Genma did not even move an inch.

His eyes turned cold, and he let out a contemptuous snort.

"Armor Hardening - Unparalleled Superhuman Strength!"

Genji neither dodged nor evaded; his right fist was instantly covered in deep black, and he threw a punch to meet the swiftly thrusting poisoned blade.

This punch did not strike the puppet directly, but rather slammed into the air in front of him.

Boom! ...

The immense chakra and ultimate power were compressed into a single point on the fist and exploded, forming a visible, solid air shockwave that emitted a deafening sonic boom. It struck the "sword" puppet with overwhelming force, even though it was launched later.

Snap! Bang!

The exquisite Chikamatsu Ten Puppet Master puppet, crushed by this absolute power, didn't even have a chance to self-destruct. Starting from the tip of the blade, it shattered inch by inch, instantly exploding into a shower of wood chips and metal fragments that dissipated into the rain.

"What?!"

Granny Chiyo's pupils contracted sharply, and for the first time, an expression of disbelief and horror appeared on her face.

She was one of the Chikamatsu Ten, the group that made her famous, and she was actually blown apart by a single punch from a distance in such a brutal and direct manner?!

What terrifying power and chakra control that would require!

Even Hanzo, who was in the midst of a fierce battle, paused for a moment, stunned by this earth-shattering punch.

Hanzo's gaze, hidden behind his mask, grew increasingly grave: "This kid..."

Genma blasted the puppet apart with a single punch, yet his aura remained completely undisturbed.

His mind raced, and he knew he had to break the chaotic stalemate immediately, otherwise the situation would spiral out of control once Chiyo was completely free or Hanzo escaped Minato.

He took a deep breath, combining his enhanced spiritual power after his soul was restored with his initial understanding of Yin attribute chakra, transforming it into an invisible wave that precisely targeted the consciousnesses of Nara Shikaku, Akimichi Choza, and Yamanaka Inoichi:

"Shikaku-senpai, Choza-senpai, Inoichi-senpai! This is Genma, communicating telepathically! Immediately move closer to Minato-senpai, prepare to leave the central area, I want to forcibly change the terrain and divide the battlefield!"

The sudden telepathic communication startled the three members of the Ino-Shika-Cho trio, but their rich combat experience allowed them to instantly understand Genma's intentions.

Without hesitation, Shikaku, while maintaining his restraint on Chiyo's shadow, shouted to Choza and Inoichi, "Move towards Minato!"

At the same time, the vast chakra within Genma's body surged and compressed at an unprecedented speed.

His feet were firmly planted on the ground, his body slightly crouched, and his arms were simultaneously covered with deep Armament Haki hardening, the pitch-black color emitting a chilling light in the gray rain.

"Drink it—!!!"

Genma let out a deep roar, and his fists, which gathered all his strength, slammed into the muddy ground beneath his feet like two falling meteors!

Armor Hardening - Unparalleled Strength!

boom--!!!!!!!!!

A deafening roar, ten or even a hundred times more intense than the previous explosion that blasted the puppet, suddenly erupted!

Centered on the point where Genma's fists landed, a destructive shockwave spread wildly in all directions in a circular pattern.

The earth, like a fragile ice surface tossed with a boulder, groaned under the unbearable weight, and instantly collapsed and cracked!

Deep, wide, and bottomless cracks spread rapidly like a spider web, instantly covering the entire valley floor.

Snap! Boom!

The cliffs on both sides, which were already somewhat loosened due to being soaked by rainwater, finally collapsed completely under the impact of this terrifying earthquake wave.

Countless rocks, mixed with soil and trees, poured down from both sides like a landslide and tsunami, crashing into the valley floor.

The river was instantly blocked and diverted, causing a devastating mudslide!

"Oh no! Retreat immediately!"

"The mountain has collapsed!"

The Sand Village and Rain Village ninjas in the midst of the melee were terrified and could no longer care about fighting. They desperately fled to the two ends of the canyon or to higher ground, and the scene completely spiraled out of control.

Granny Chiyo's expression changed drastically. She had no choice but to use all her strength to control the remaining puppets to protect herself and the few Sand Village Jonin closest to her, resisting the rolling boulders. She could no longer maintain the suppression of Genma and the others.

Hanzo snorted angrily, and the Salamander summoned beast beneath his feet kept swatting away the falling rocks with its tail. He himself used his superb Body Flicker Technique to flash among the collapsing rocks, his eyes fixed on the two metal boxes that were rolling in the chaos and about to be swallowed by the mudslide.

Minato, using the Flying Thunder God Technique, transformed into streaks of golden light and narrowly brought the Ino-Shika-Cho trio out of the collapsed center and onto a relatively safe, higher cliff.

The moment Genma slammed his fists into the ground, he used the recoil to leap high into the air, landing steadily beside Minato and the others in a few bounds.

He was slightly out of breath, having unleashed his full strength twice in succession, especially the final, powerful strike that altered the terrain, which was a considerable burden for him.

But the results are remarkable!

In just a few seconds, the once narrow canyon floor was completely transformed, submerged by a massive landslide and a newly formed barrier lake.

The Sand Village and Rain Village forces were completely divided and scattered, suffering heavy casualties.

The two boxes containing the poison ingredients disappeared in the chaos, their whereabouts unknown, whether buried somewhere or swept away by a mudslide.

The battlefield, which was originally in a three-way standoff, was completely turned upside down by Genma's violent attack that forcibly changed the terrain!

"Cough cough... Genma, you bastard..."

Looking down at the scene below, which resembled the aftermath of a natural disaster, Akimichi Choza clicked his tongue, his face filled with lingering fear.

Nara Shikaku let out a long sigh of relief, his gaze towards Genma filled with amazement and complex emotions: "Well done, although it was a bit too much of a commotion."

Yamanaka Inoichi nodded, still feeling lingering fear.

Minato patted Genma on the shoulder, his face showing both relief and seriousness: "You've worked hard, Genma. The situation is under control for now, but Hanzo and Chiyo won't give up easily. We must find the box as soon as possible, or confirm that it's completely destroyed, and then evacuate immediately!"

His gaze fell upon the still churning mudslide and billowing dust below, and within the dust, two figures, faintly visible and radiating powerful chakra fluctuations.
